Mario Marenco for Mobil Girgi Set of Four Dining Chairs in Walnut

About the Item

Mario Marenco for Mobil Girgi, set of four dining chairs model ‘Sapporo’, walnut, leather, Italy, 1970s A stunning set of dining chairs designed by Mario Marenco in the 1970s, crafted in rich walnut and patinated cognac leather. These chairs are distinguished by their sculptural backrests, composed of two vertical slats set apart and connected at the top and bottom, creating a striking architectural form. The two flat front legs are straight and linear, adding to their refined structure. The deep, warm tone of the walnut frame beautifully complements the aged brown leather seats. While the design evokes echoes of Scarpa’s ‘Africa’ chairs and the bold creativity of Pierre Cardin, this set stands out with a distinct and original character of its own. Kindly note that the chairs are in good, used condition with some signs of age and use. For further details, we encourage you to reach out to our team of design specialists.

Mario Marenco Sapporo chairs for Mobil Girgi Italy 1970
By Mario Marenco, Mobil Girgi
Located in Roosendaal, Noord Brabant
Wonderful set of Sapporo dining chairs designed by Mario Marenco for Mobil Girgi in Italy in 1970. These chairs are made from Italian walnut with a stunning grain pattern. The seats are original and have aged beautiful, showing a charming, worn-in leather look. What makes these chairs special is their unique design. They have a hammer-shaped backrest that looks nice and provides good support. The seats are wide and comfortable for long meals. One cool thing about these chairs is how they're put together. Two slim slats go from the top of the backrest all the way down to the bottom, where they connect with a horizontal slat. This design makes the chairs look simple and modern. Kindly note that the chairs are priced and sold in a set of 6 but we have 12 of these chairs available as shown on the pictures. Mario Marenco was born in 1933. He studied archi­tec­ture in Naples and won research grants for Stock­holm and Chicago. In 1960 he opened in Rome his own atelier of archi­tec­ture and...
